Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 It Is Time You Give Up

Ysabelle was so shocked that her jaw almost hit the ground. Uncle Tristan actually promised to sing for Sophie!

Casting her mind back, she seemingly couldn’t remember ever hearing Tristan sing.

“Don’t force yourself, Uncle Tristan.” She felt utterly petrified.

Hearing that, Tristan swept a gaze over her. What does she mean by that? Am I not allowed to sing?

“All right, in that case, I’ll book a private room for us!” Felix volunteered himself for that task.

He knew that Ysabelle had always loved to sing.

Honestly, he was exceedingly supportive of that. No matter what she did, he would support her. Alas, her parents didn’t think the same.

“Winter, go home first if you don’t want to go. Else, I can drive you home first before making a trip back,” Charles murmured thoughtfully. Why must she do this to herself? She’s downright asking for it!

“No, I’ll go with you all! I don’t want to be alone, Charles!” Winter was willing to go anywhere as long as she could stay a while longer with Tristan. Hence, she couldn’t possibly bear to leave first.

“In that case, let’s go!”

When they went out to foot the bill, Tristan handed his black card to Sophie.

Sophie was stunned for a moment as she stared at the card in her hand. What is he doing?

“What’s the meaning of this? I don’t quite get it.” Could it be because my IQ had dropped recently?

“Didn’t you say that it’s your treat tonight?” The meal today must have cost quite a huge sum, no?

At once, Sophie’s eyes went wide. Don’t tell me I can’t even afford to treat them to a meal in his eyes? It turns out that I’m so pitiful to him, huh?

Naturally, Winter noticed Tristan’s action and couldn’t help snickering.

Hah! If she doesn’t have the money, she shouldn’t have boasted! All of us here can afford to pay for this meal!

“How about I foot the bill instead?” She went over to the counter and whipped out her card.

Immediately, Tristan frowned. What’s the meaning of her doing this?

Sophie walked over as well, taking out her card and handing it to the cashier directly.

Seeing that, Winter grew impatient.

“I’m aware of the Tanner family’s current situation, Ms. Tanner.” In other words, she was saying that Sophie couldn’t afford to pay for that meal.

“Winter!” Ysabelle couldn’t bring herself to listen any further. Indeed, the Quigley family is one of the four prominent families. But still, she can’t look down on others like this!

However, Winter merely shrugged.

“I don’t mean anything. I merely hope that Ms. Tanner doesn’t need to lower her standard of living because of us. That wouldn’t be good. Am I not right?”

“How could you say that?” Ysabelle saw red. How could she say that about Sophie?

“A person’s value is created by herself. I don’t want to rely on the Tanner family. I can obtain everything I want through my own efforts. I’m different from you, Ms. Quigley.”

Actually, she really didn’t want to say that, but Winter forced her hand.

“That’s enough! I think you should go home first, Winter!” Charles interjected swiftly. She has really gone too far this time, so I can’t help her either.

“Charles, I didn’t say anything, did I? I’m just doing this for her good. Verily, there’s no need for her to satisfy her vanity by passing off as something she’s not.” Simply put, Winter looked down on the Tanner family.

Displeasure deluged Tristan. No matter the reason, he didn’t want to hear anyone putting Sophie down in that manner.

“In your eyes, Winter, is the Lombard family not worthy of dining with you? And are you saying that my girlfriend can’t even afford to treat you to a meal?”

Never had Winter expected him to tear into her like that because of Sophie.

“I didn’t mean anything, Mr. Tristan.” Despite feeling aggrieved, she still apologized since she wanted to join them instead of going back alone.

By then, the cashier was done collecting the payment and handed Sophie’s card back to her.

“Drive Winter home first, Charles. Since she doesn’t like to be with us, she doesn’t need to join us anymore in the future.” Ultimately, Tristan still sentenced Winter for her misdeed.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tristan.” Winter instantly apologized. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn’t dare to challenge the man.
